Tuesday was windy, but warm. Nothing like a little taste of spring to lift the spirits. Lots of things are making me happy today, like

• running outside. Okay, so my hat blew off with 1/2 mile to go, but still. The treadmill had been looking a little too familiar lately.
• planting pansies in the pots/urns on our front steps. I use lots of blues; they seem to hold up better once the heat arrives.
• Victoria Magazine’s May/June issue will feature San Francisco’s Miette, and Kohler, WI! (Plus a gorgeous wedding. I love the bridesmaid dresses featured on Victoria’s home page.) I’m still on the fence about the relaunch of Victoria. I want to love it, but so far it’s just feeling like a really good fake. I miss the “real thing”, like that awesome August shops issue. Hopefully, once I get my hands on this, and read through it, I’ll feel the love.
• Julianne Moore is the Harper’s Bazaar May cover (love her!)
• the movie King Corn, which I’ve been waiting to see, is running on PBS Independent Lens …. check your local airtime at pbs.org.
• the internet/blogosphere makes the world a very, very small place. (Good to meet you, Erika. You are ultra-talented.)
• we have flowers! Finally! See photo above.

Until tomorrow. Spring has sprung, and even if it’s temporary, I’m celebrating.
